Complexity of understanding a visual scene is the single biggest challenge in creating intelligent devices for visually impaired people. The requirement of real time operation makes it inevitable to design algorithms that obey the computing and memory limits of available hardware. We present a hierarchical scene understanding system implemented on a vision system chip. It is restricted to extract...
An Associative Memory is built by three consecutive components: (1) a CMOS preprocessing unit generating input feature vectors from picture inputs, (2) an AM cluster generating signature outputs composed of spintronic oscillator (STO) cells and local spin-wave interactions, as an oscillatory CNN (O-CNN) array unit, applied several times arranged in space, and (3) a classification unit (CMOS). The...
Recognition of banknotes is a prevalent problem for blind and visually impaired people. The bionic eyeglass is a mobile platform that integrates several common visual detection and recognition functions. Relevant shapes are extracted from the image flow of the banknote shown to the mobile camera using adaptive thresholding and morphological shape filters. In a two-level classification scheme different...
